Passing FormAPI variable in inline command

Aadi

Can we pass the FormAPI variable(areawork) value in inline command as a parameter??

If yes, can someone assist me on this how we can do this and if not what is the alternative solutions.

Below is my code sample of formapi:-

var areawork=IWDatacapture.getWorkarea();
var myitem = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Config/getworkarea");
myitem.setValue(areawork);

My Inline cmd is:-
<inline command="/teamsite/Interwoven/TeamSite/iw-perl/bin/perl /teamsite/Interwoven/TeamSite/httpd/iw-bin/myscript.ipl" />

If I pass the xpath(Config/getworkarea) of the particular item as a parameter in inline command, I gets it as it is in my script instead of the item value.

There seems to be a basic misconception here that gets asked about and responded too periodically.

Inline commands are run during the process of construction the DCT Form - and before any content from a DCR is loaded within the DCT form - therefore you cannot use a value from the DCR / DCT Form as an argument for an inline command.

Okay. FYI I am using workflow Modeler and running the inline command into the workflow customized instantiation screen. For that I have converted the workflow instantiation screen into cfg file. What I need is to get the relevent workarea path in the ipl file, when workflow initiate, which is reffered in inline command above.

If you're talking about WFM - you should have made that clear in your initial post - and it would have made more sense to post in the workflow forum instead of the FormsPublisher forum (though I can see reasons for going either way - making it clear in the initial post is always important)

That being said - you still have the same limitation which is that the FormAPI code is not run until after the DCT is finished being constructed, and the inline command is part of the process of constructing the DCT - you may, however, be able to access environment variables within your inline script that might help you do what you want - I haven't tried it, but it should be trivial to dump out all the environment variables available to see what you might be able to utilize.

Hi Ghoti,
Can you explain how can we do that..bcoz i hav never tried that myself too..n never heard of it.
And as for Aadi problem i guess he can do this with help of callserver instead of inline command...
Call a function which has a call server and pass ur parameters to it...Aadi...chk out the pdf for it...

Can I explain how to do what?
Examine environment variables from a Perl script?
Search the forums, read some Perl programming books - that's very basic stuff, which if you don't know or can't figure out on your own, is a good indication of not being in the right job.

Thnks..was just asking for info....
See this wat i understood:
Set sum environment variable on server..and use this in ur ipl while using inline command...So i was thinking how this wuld help Aadi's requirement....

I have printed all Environment variables from the script and found various variables and their value like IW_HOME and Session etc in log files. . but didn't get the Workarea related variable.

Is it possible to set the environment variable for the relevant WorkArea, in the script, irrespective of from where the workflow is invoked? i.e. I want to avoid hard-coding.

The subject of this thread is "Passing FormAPI variable in inline command"
You say you "printed all environment variables from the script" - can you show the code you used and the results you found (at least the environment variable names - not necessarily the values associated with them)?
You next-to-last sentence ends with "irrespective of from where the workflow is invoked" - what does workflow have to do with this query?
